[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
ok too much misinformation seems to be getting linked together. so just this once ill comment.

we do have a few completely nand unlocked devices now. we have some more experimentation to go with hboot before it will be worthy of release, ie the fastboot commands. patching it is a slower process as you are correct, its easy to brick. we will be planning a release but do not presently have a timeframe. one problem is while with recovery a error would be corrected by trying again, hboot will brick. so if we do release its going to be a slightly technical process requiring more thought and knowledge so that you have the best chance of success.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
The vulnerability has already been shown... i have a copy of the zip saved on my PC and can unlock my nand at will.. You go into hboot and type in some commands and then reboot and upon reboot into android your NAND is unlocked and you can do anything you want including write to /system while in actual android... then upon rebooting your phone a second time your nand relocks by default...

The reason i know this works is that i did the nand unlock and AdFree was able to successfully install a new hosts file on my phone with no problems.. and that program needs specific /system write access while in android itself... also i can remove files in my /system folder while in android using root explorer on the phone itself, without have to do adb at all

what unrevoked is trying to do now is make it permanent where it stays unlocked after a reboot.. but for now its pretty simple, all i have to do is not turn off my phone and my nand will stay unlocked
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mahkee:
Shadowmite and Joe92T, thanks for clearing things up for everyone. I hope nobody goes looking for that zip and bricks their device before unrEVOked's release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
The whole thread it was located in has been deleted because it was a leaked file and not an official release,the only people that have it are unrevoked and the people lucky enough to download the attachment before the mods found out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dvdivx:
I'm glad it's being worked on. Once it works running true linux on the phone will be possible as would dual booting the phone.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for clearing that up!

The Dinc is my first android phone (from blackberries), but from what I can tell, HTC seems to not be as anal about exploits found as some other Android phone makers. I like that. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
Does a full NAND unlock allow deleting system apps that were previously not able to be uninstalled with the device on ?

Yes that's what it means,

Hi,

I feel the headset volume is kind of low and was wondering if somebody know how to increase it.

I found this

but it is for the I9000 and menus are different.
[Vibrant General] bradycl_84043:
So I'm expecting my Vibrant to arrive tomorrow and I'm curious...

Those of you coming from other 2.1 phones, in my case a G1 running CM 5.0.8, did Google restore your apps/background/so forth at first sign-in?
[Vibrant General] boodies:
no, it didn't sync it. non of the programs i had on the G1 transfered over.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zeoran:
I have an HTC Tilt 2, running WM6.5. I'm using stock rom with Touchflo3d. I know this should be in an HTC forum, but since this applies to just about every HTC model out there and I'm also wondering if there is a normal WM feature I'm not aware of so it applies to WM6.5 only.

I have about 4,500 sms messages (I text alot) and I need to know two things:

1) Is there any way within WM6.5 to tell it to store my txt messages on my sc card rather than the internal memory? The more msgs I have, the more memory it takes, the less memory, the slower the whole thing becomes. I don't care if I need a 3rd party app to do it, I just want to know how or if it's possible.

2) Is there a WM replacement for the HTC sms messenger that's better? is there a non HTC and non WM sms messenger that's better? Mine keeps locking up the phone every time I send a message from one of the user accounts with a large amount of messages in it, forcing me to soft-reset or use a RAM reset tool to get the system to respond again.

I'm willing to upgrade to a new non-stock ROM if it will solve my problems and I'm willing to buy whatever software is necessary to resolve my issues.

Thanks,

~Mark Schamber

Hi ppl, Does anybody know if a GameBoy skin for morphgear exists?

What I mean is like a full skin, not just the buttons at bottom ie so the full screen resembles the front of a GameBoy?

Anybody else thinks this woudl be kinda cool?, Same coudl be done with a GameGear skin etc :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tada1228:
In case you guys didnt know, the HTC Pure or Tilt2 cannot do VGA video rec. You can enable VGA video rec if you install a program called BSB tweaks (google it). Go into the program and turn on "Enable hidden rec format", BUT DO NOT TURN ON "Improve MPEG bitrate", if you do it'll mess up the video camera and you'll have to hardreset. After the soft reset you can remove BSB tweaks if you want.

After that go into the camera settings and change the recording format to 3GPP2. Then you can change the resolution to VGA. To test if it really works, record 10 sec of footage with MPEG CIF resolution, then record 10 sec of 3GPP2 VGA resolution and you'll find that the VGA video is the larger file. I know it isnt true VGA video recording but its better than CIF.

Some video rec tips: Reduce camera brightness and change metering mode to average to increase framerate, reduce contract to see darker areas better.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norm688:
Well the problem with mine is that the captured video looks so bad with 3GPP2 VGA that I would rather stick with QVGA... Unless I am doing something wrong.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tada1228:
If it looks bad then you probably turned on "Improve MPEG bitrate" in BsbTweaks. Once you had done that, you cannot reverse the process by turning it back off. The 3GPP VGA video will look worse than QVGA. You will have to hardreset, install Bsbtweaks, and ONLY turn on option "Hidden Video Rec". After the softreset, test it out and you will see the improvement.

Actually you don't need to install or remove any programs, just set the following registry value

Does it do more than 15fps with that method??

Because with my method Iam only getting 9-10 fps.

Nevermind, that Reg edit does the same thing.
[Droid X Android Development] Chiups:
Hey i tried out the Samsung Vibrant a couple minutes ago, its quick neat and the screen is gorgeous. What im really liking is the keyboard. Id like to know if there is anyway to port that keyboard onto the DX?
[Droid X Android Development] x.v_:
I'll look into it. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, but ill try!
[Droid X Android Development] razster:
I am not sure but I believe your refering to swype.

Swype well... it's in beta now. You can find .apk's for beta versions for different screen sizes resolutions, some of which seem to work better than others. XDA doesn't allow anyone to post links to swype .apks until swype leaves beta. The swype developers got pissed off that so many versions were posted here in the dream sapphire forums. I'm sure if you google you can find one that works on this resolution though ;)
[Droid X Android Development] ksizzle9:
The droid x comes preloaded with swype, just go to menu>laungauge/keyboard, and check the box for swype. No need to look for the keyboard. If u have a droid x u have swype.
[Droid X Android Development] Chiups:
*sigh* Guys I know what swype is. The Captivate that I played with the other day had its own implementation of the multitouch keyboard, that is what I'm talking about.
[Droid X Android Development] Kristoferallen:
yeah i know which one you are talking about. it looks exactly like the iphone keyboard, and i do mean exactly. jon4lakers did a comparison on youtube of the 2 phones and you can see them side by side at 19:47. i know they have a skin for the galaxy s look so i'm sure someone is working on the keyboard.
[Droid X Android Development] bblanski:
I did like the iphone keyboard. Would be nice to try this one if someone can port

[Vibrant General] kusotare:
this seems simple enough since we can do it with all other android devices that have root. but it isnt, apparently. because we're running with a stock bootloader/SPL/recovery/ROM, adb wont run with SU permissions. this means abd remount doesnt work.

also, we dont know what the directory is to mount from /dev (i.e. on the G1 it was /dev/block/mtdblock3) to get system to mount as rw.

my point in asking is that i'm trying to do something i'm sure a lot of other people would like as well. custom ringtones in /system/media/audio instead of on the SD card. why? because with the ringtones on the SD card, media scanner picks them up every time and lumps them in with the actual music you have on your sd card. ugh.

so, as soon as someone can figure this out, i'd love to know how to do it so I can push the ringtones or cp them using busybox. anyone who can help...well, lets get it going.

mucho kudos! i have a feeling this will come in handy for a lot of people in the future.
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Whoa... Do I need to do all this just to push a apk as system app?
[Vibrant General] kusotare:
No, all you need to do is:

adb shell (ony if you're using adb, if you're using terminal, skip this command)

su

busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

busybox cp /(location of the app here)/app.apk /system/app/

reboot

now, depending on where you have the app:

if its on the 14gb storage, it'll just be /sdcard/app.apk

if its on your actual sd card, it'll be /sdcard/sd/app.apk

all the stuff in the code post between # mount and the next # is what gets printed from the mount command. not actual commands.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
adb remount doesn't work? I have been using it to delete stuff out of the /system/app directory... Maybe I am not getting what you are referring to.

??
[Vibrant General] cojonesx:
Didn't mean to scare anyone with all that text, kusotare is right, the mount command shows what is currently mounted and where, its how I knew where to remount /system. Just used it as an example to teach as well ;)
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
ahh, never mind, I see the issue now

So adb push to /system/* is never going to work until we get some custom roms then?

[Captivate Android Development] fedorafitz:
Here's one for the genius'

1. I rooted my phone successfully

2. I edited the settings.db file to allow side apps

3. I copied to copy the original settings.db file (that I think I may have corrupted) back and when I restarted my phone, I get a blank screen.... it will not boot into android.

I have a backup of the original settings.db file, but I need to know if there is there a way that I can copy this file back from recovery mode so that I can boot. I do get command line access in through adb, but it will not let me gain su access. Any help would be great.
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
I would say just hard reset the phone. It'll restore the settings.db back to the factory one.
[Captivate Android Development] systoxity:
is it possible to do a hard reset without booting into android? I didn't know about that drats!
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
I'm fairly sure there's a way to completely reset the phone while in recovery mode. Haven't done it, but I read about it somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] fedorafitz:
I did a reset, but the phone still goes blank after the Galaxy logo. If I can mount the sdcard in recovery I think I can fix it. But I can't get it mounted.
[Captivate Android Development] systoxity:
take it back and ask for a replacement. Use your imagination.

If this fails and you have a brick phone that you cant do anything with, then i personally would try to open it up and see if that internal microsd card can be removed and hooked up to a card reader. Ofc this is very risky, and i am in no way telling you that you should follow in my theoretical footsteps. Be careful and good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] fedorafitz:
Is there a way to mount the internal sdcard. I have adb access in recovery mode, but not root. I have removable sdcard, but it does not seem to access that one from the recovery mode.
[Captivate Android Development] fedorafitz:
Also, I see the drives in "My Computer", but when I click them they ask me to insert a card. Is there a way to manually mount it from the ADB shell?
[Captivate Android Development] systoxity:
you have adb access? So when you have it plugged in and you go to cmd and type adb devices, the phone pops up as connected?
[Captivate Android Development] fedorafitz:
Yes... I have shell access, just can't get root or mount anything. I had already rooted the phone before all this began.
[Captivate Android Development] alexmullins:
Try this.

Boot into recovery and type this into your computer

"adb shell"

"mount /sdcard"

"exit"

"adb push <whateverfile> /<path>/<whateverfile>"

"adb shell"

"umount /sdcard"

"exit"

I haven't tried this on my phone, but it should work. Please post back if you have any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] scotte9999:
That will fail because /<path>/<whateverfile> isn't readable/writeable by non-root users (aka adbd). It's /dbdata or something like that, if memory serves.

For the record, booting into recovery mode and clearing all user data will NOT restore a working settings.db. I think the OP is SOL, although I'd love to learn that I'm wrong! :-(
[Captivate Android Development] fedorafitz:
Yeah I tried "mount /sdcard" already.... No luck, it just tells me "usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory"
[Captivate Android Development] alexmullins:
I forgot that you can't get root. The only thing i can tell you is to wait for the dump of the original rom whenever that comes out or take it to your ATT store and tell them it broke.
[Captivate Android Development] centex99:
Mostly new to android, but could you create an update.zip which contains a valid dbsettings file and run it using the bootloader (hold down volume buttons and power up)? Would that then install it to the appropriate place?
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
If you can't recover the settings.db just take it back to the store and tell them the phone just started booting into a black screen. Leave it at that, turn it on for them to show them it does indeed do that. Then they will exchange it for you because it is so soon after the release date. (ask me how I know) :-/. Always check the db file before you copy it over.
[Captivate Android Development] systoxity:
both posts +1
[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
If you can access the phone in adb shell, then you might be able to access the recovery console by going to your computer's command line, getting into the SDK tools folder, and typing "adb shell reboot recovery"

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUNTheDon:
Hey all,

Before my great Desire I owned a touch HD, with the same data plan: 3gb/month.

With that device I managed a maximum of about 3-400 MB/month, but averagely it was only 100-150. The things I used on it: Twitter update every 15 mins, fb every hour, e-mail every hour, weather hourly, some - quite a lot - browsing with opera, and some youtube in pub while drinking&sharing =)

With the desire, i realized that it's really much moore :) It's 19th, and i just passed 1gig, with quite the same use, only the gmail is push now.

So my question is: what background app can use so much data - or is it average with this phone - , or can you recommend me a data counter app that shows consumption app by app so i could check it very easily.

The main purpose of it is I want to change my cell rate to a better one, but it 'only' has 1gig of data.

Thx for your help :)

Cheers

3G Watchdog is very good for monitoring data usage. You can set custom alarms to warn you if you area approach your limit.

To find exactly WHAT is using your network though, in your dialer enter *#*#4636#*#*

This gains you access to a hidden menu. Select 'battery history' then from the top drop-down menu, select 'network usage'. This will show you exactly what has been chewing through your megs!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUNTheDon:
Thank you very much, this code is awesome =)

I use watchdog, but it doesn't count the usage app by app, this is perfect.

The item named "internet" is the most, so it can be browsing or youtube.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2496007:
Glad to be of help! :D

If your 'internet' is using that much though (when you only used a fraction on your Touch HD doing the same things), I'd say there is something up. I've TRIED to pass my monthly limit but can't get close.

One thing that can cause your 'internet' browser to use a lot of data all the time, is having iGoogle as your home page. All the widgets you can put on your i-Google home page constantly update and keep your data connection active.

If you do not have i-Google, is there a page you are leaving it on that could also require constant updating? Sites with lots of cycling flash advertisment banners could do this.

I do not use task killers, as I have found they cause more problems than they solve, but try force-stopping the 'internet' app. Without having a task killer, go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, select the 'internet' app and press the 'Force Stop' button.

Try this for a day after each use of the internet (a hassle I know) and if it seems to help, perhaps putting on a basic task killer and only have it 'auto-kill' your internet app could save you some unwanted data bills!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUNTheDon:
It's not igoogle, but i figured out that i use eredmenyek.com what is the hungarian version of livescores.com (i am betting a lot :D) and if i let my browser on that site, it can be able to communicate a lot - updates every minute, all the events :)
